Believe it or not, toothpaste does not do what it really should do, which is clean your teeth. Fact is, your teeth are not what you should be concerned about keeping clean; it is your gums that need attention. If your gums are not healthy then your teeth have nothing to hold them into place.

Symptoms of unhealthy gums are abscesses, bleeding, and swelling of the gums, which is gingivitis (a fatal gum disease) or periodontal disease. If the gums show these symptoms, in the long run your teeth will be affected. They become loose and you are able to rock them back and forth. Bad gums cause tooth decay.

Dentist use a scale when examining your teeth; they push them back and forth with a surgical instrument and if you teeth move very much the scale tips to a +4, 3, or 2, and if they do not move, the scale tips to 0 or -1, which means tightness. The idea is to have immovable teeth.

The way to keep your teeth strong without using toothpaste is to use 10 parts baking soda and 1 part sea salt (mixed with a mouthwash into a paste). Sea salt is a natural medicine that heals wounds and sores. Sea salt is much higher in vital essential minerals (especially magnesium), having been in contact with the living ocean for millions of years. Capitalist marketing companies that could really care less about your teeth but are more concerned with their numbers and profit manufacture toothpaste.

Try the mixture if you have any of the above symptoms and even if you do not, try it anyway; it is a good preventative maintenance source.

(Please consult a Dentist before using this solution. Afromerica does not want to be blamed for your teeth falling out. However, the remedy has been proven).
